Few things I would like to share...First of all, I'm not someone who hates Vista...I thought XP was just OK, I preferred Windows 2000 Professional instead...Once I got my hands on Vista Ultimate, I have been hooked...Windows 7 feels like Vista with a perm...I love it...
First off all, you may run into some issues trying to set up a a dual boot within Vista, I don't know about XP...Various errors trying to make free space, etc...Paragon Partition Manager is your friend...And trust me, you want to dual boot, as you can have that fresh, new OS feel and speed without having to install all the shit on your new OS...Many of my old programs run just fine without being installed in W7....
I ran W7 in a virutal machine for a couple weeks or so I guess, before deciding it was well worth it to see what it could do to utilize all of my hardware's resources...So far so good...It is fast, it shuts down, several things have been streamlined and aren't clumsy...I still don't like IE8, but that's hardly a knock...Once you have Firefox, there simply isn't enough to go around...However, IE8 is good enough that I won't be installing Chrome, K-Mel, or anything else I use when I don't want to unleash Firefox...This feels fast, I can live with the clumsy way pages are displayed...
If this is the BETA, then the final version should kick ass...I have yet to see if there are fixes to notorious Windows problems like SUPER slow file move operations in Explorer and things like that, but I'm willing to give this a legit shot...
